What is SECR?
UK reporting • energy & carbon
SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting) is the UK framework requiring certain organisations to disclose energy consumption, associated greenhouse gas emissions (commonly Scope 1 and 2), and a narrative on energy efficiency actions.
What SECR typically includes
Energy data
Electricity, gas, fuels (as applicable) with clear organisational boundaries.
Emissions
Associated GHG emissions, typically Scope 1 and Scope 2, calculated consistently.
Efficiency actions
A credible narrative: what was done, why it matters, and what comes next.
SECR checklist (audit-ready)
- Define reporting boundary and responsible owners.
- Collect energy activity data with source evidence.
- Apply consistent emission factors and document methods.
- Implement checks (completeness, reasonableness, version control).
- Write an energy efficiency narrative backed by initiatives and metrics.
RSustain UK provides advisory & implementation support; no verification/assurance services.
Make SECR efficient (and defensible)
We set up boundaries, data collection, calculation notes, and a clean reporting pack for annual reporting workflows.
